Abstract: Provided is a directional coupler type optical function element with high extinction ratio, in which a junction of a 2-input/2-output directional coupler or 1-input/2-output directional coupler, formed of a semiconductor or dielectric, is formed by successively optically connecting, from the input side to the output side, a front-stage partial junction (C₃), front-stage partial junction (C₄) with electrode (F₁, F₂), central partial junction (C₅), rear-stage partial junction (C₆) with electrode (F₃, F₄), and rear-stage partial junction (C₇), each having a predetermined length. 
     The connection state at the front-stage partial junction (C₃) and an incidence-side lead section (C₁) optically connected thereto and the connection state at the rear-stage partial junction (C₇) and an emergence-side lead section (C₂) optically connected thereto cancel each other, thereby equivalently providing a symmetrical connection state and preventing the extinction ratio for a cross mode from lowering. By forming the central partial junction (C₅) with a proper length, moreover, the extinction ratio for a through mode can be kept high enough. Thus, high extinction ratio characteristics can be enjoyed for either the cross or through modes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a coin-identifying method that is fast and that can reject any counterfeit coin that closely resembles a genuine coin, or a counterfeit coin that has a distribution that partially overlaps into a genuine-coin identification region, without reducing the acceptance ratio of genuine coins. It also provides an inexpensive apparatus that utilizes this method. 
     The method and apparatus of the present invention perform a identification in which a first region is set to define a comparison reference for values measured by a first sensor (5) and a second sensor (6) that detect characteristics of a coin, a second region is set in such a manner as to partially overlap the first region, and a preliminary identification is performed using this second region to determine whether the coin is a counterfeit. If the identification result is such that the coin is not determined to be a counterfeit, the first region is then used for further identification.

Abstract: A multi-channel trigger dejitter technique uses actual digitized samples from a repetitive waveform signal to correct for jitter in a hardware trigger signal. Interpolated samples are calculated between a set of the digitized samples about the hardware trigger signal, and a hardware trigger level is determined from the closest sample in time to the hardware trigger signal. The hardware trigger level is averaged with that determined from prior acquisitions to produce an average trigger level. The closest sample in time to the average trigger level becomes an averaged trigger signal, and the times for all the digitized samples for that acquisition, as well as all simultaneous acquisitions from other input channels, are adjusted according the difference in time between the hardware and averaged trigger signals. Over several acquisition iterations of the repetitive waveform the amount of jitter between acquisitions is decreased.

Abstract: In an electric power steering apparatus, a motor current target value of a steering force assisting motor is determined on the basis of a torque detected by a torque sensor, the drive of the motor is controlled with using the motor current target value as a target value of an automatic control, and the driving current of the motor as the feedback value of the automatic control, and, when the detected torque is within a predetermined range, the motor is inhibited from being driven in the direction opposite to the detected torque. The electric power steering apparatus has a motor non-drive detecting circuit for detecting that the motor current target value is zero, and a drive inhibition holding circuit for holding the motor drive inhibition state where the motor is inhibited from being driven in the direction opposite to the detected torque, until the motor non-drive detecting circuit detects that the motor current target value is zero. Even when a CPU runs away and the motor current target value becomes excessive, self-rotation of a steering wheel and reverse assist caused by the flow of the excess motor current are prevented from occurring. Even when a CPU runs away and the assist and the assist inhibition are repeated, furthermore, the steering is prevented from becoming unstable.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making an optical fiber preform having at least one annular region of depressed refractive index. A tube of silica doped with fluorine and/or boron is overclad with silica soot. A core rod is inserted into the overclad tube and the resultant assembly is heated while chlorine flows between the tube and the core rod to clean the adjacent surfaces. When the soot consolidates, the tube collapses onto and fuses to the rod. The resultant tubular structure is provided with cladding and drawn to form an optical fiber which exhibits low attenuation as a result of the low seed count at the interface between the inner core and the region that is doped with florine and/or boron.

Abstract: A method of on-line routing of permanent virtual circuits is disclosed. The method uses an exponential cost function based on the network state and virtual circuit parameters to determine paths for the virtual circuits without scaling. The method may also advantageously use information available when multiple virtual circuits are requested to determine paths for the virtual circuits. Additionally, the method allows the routing selection to be refined so that the total cost of routing all the virtual circuits is reduced.

Abstract: An online system for diagnosing operability of a rotating electrical apparatus includes sensors (38a-38c) producing electrical signals having values corresponding to operating parameters of the apparatus, data converters (42a-42c) for converting the electrical variables to digital values, a comparator (microprocessor 46) for comparing the values to corresponding predetermined baseline values of the apparatus and producing a corresponding comparison value, and a signalling mechanism (47,49) for outputting signals related to a period of predicted operability of the apparatus whenever the comparison value exceeds a corresponding predetermined deadband value. The operating conditions may be non-electrical operating conditions, such as a condition of a lubrication system or a bearing of the apparatus. Alternatively, the sensors may sense electrical insulation non-thermal parameters during operation of the apparatus, in order to produce signals related to the operability of an insulator of the apparatus.
